Tuning the DXB-01 EarbuDDs
The low frequency response curve of the EarbuDDs can be altered by closing off vent area from the tuned rear chamber.
Supplied with the EarbuDDs are two strips of adhesive-backed foam tape located in the fishnet pocket of the carrying case. The tape can be cut to different lengths and applied over the desired number of cavity vents.
The cavity vents are located under the earpads; 8 round vents circumnavigating the earpad nozzel.
Reducing the vent area lowers the Q of the tuning system, making the bass less prominent but giving a tighter feel.
There is no right or wrong to subjective tuning because what you like, is what YOU like.
While the overall balance of the DXB-01 is smooth, different music styles can benefit from some tuning, much like adding EQ curves on your MP3 player.
With the DD EarbuDDs, you can alter the sound acoustically before adding equalization on your player, giving you more options for what moves you.
